Planet Swans ArchivesThe Swansea City midfielder has barely played for two years and is unlikely to feature this campaign until at least the spring but the Swans are keen to hold onto a player who was so instrumental in their rise to the Championship.
Bodde had started well in the club’s first return to the second tier before injury struck against November and despite a couple of comeback attempts, Swans fans have seen very little of him since that first injury struck.
And that will be one reason why the Swans will want to give him at least one more chance with the player out of contract next summer
“There are talks already ongoing with Ferrie and his agent regarding a new contract and various options,” the Chairman told the Evening Post. “Ferrie is in Swansea this week and that is something we will discuss.
“Of course, Ferrie is a talented player and is someone who we have shown a lot of support to.
“Brendan knows the quality that Ferrie possesses and he wants him to be a part of what he wants to achieve here.
“Ferrie has been recovering from his injury in Holland, where he has his family around him.
“But we are expecting him to return to Swansea either next month or the start of December and then he will be here full time working on his comeback.
“Then we will take the talks further regarding a new contract.
“Ferrie has been comfortable recovering in Holland,” added Jenkins.
“I think you have to consider what is best for both parties. It is also important Ferrie knows that something is being lined up for him. He is really working hard to put himself back in the frame to play.
“We have got a very good relationship with Ferrie, and we look forward to his return.”
